| Is getting a new pre-amp the right upgrade path? Though Ralph(atmasphere) is too much of a gentleman to say it, I will- An Atma-Sphere preamp would be a great addition to your system. I would contact him to get advice on which one would be compatible with your system. Though I think one of his U... | |

| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 ,I would not discount the Sub 3 until I listened to it. If Mr. V. discontinues a very good sub in favor of a new one, it must be a significant improvement.And, Vandersteen's use of an external high pass crossover was very much 'thinking ... | |

| Is this MQA news a big deal? @elizabeth,+1I believe MQA is the 21st century version of Dolby. Just another way to get people to believe audio manipulation is supposed to result in 'better sound'.B | |
| Home network audio options (streamer/DAC) I went with the Bluesound Node. It has an internal DAC that can be overridden, but for the price, it is pretty good. Connectivity is excellent and the App just got a serious revision. Customer service is excellent, as well.Though you state you don... | |
